Notes From the Designer:

The moment I saw the gorgeous colors in the Copper Patina kit, I was reminded of beautiful domes atop magnificent buildings. I wanted to design something with architectural elements, such as coffered ceilings and mosaic friezes. This wrap maintains clean lines with a simple rectangular shape but has colorful flourishes and textures that are deceptively simple to achieve.

Lady Elizabeth Wilbraham (1632-1705) has been called the first female architect of the United Kingdom. Women weren't permitted to be architects at the time, but it is likely she designed about 400 grand houses that were attributed to men. Historians now believe that she was a tutor to Sir Christopher Wren, and she helped him design 18 of the 52 churches that he worked on following the 1666 Great Fire of London.
